my my husband message it's not been delivered till now it's been missed out which in all middle of all of this politicization and to misuse of history. and i'll show it to you thank you very much for the interview thank you thank you very much thank you an interview there by oliver salat who joins me now hi oliver in your talk with mrs hashad genes you hinted arrow being held under house arrest until quite recently is that why we're just hearing from her now. it's complicated as you can imagine just as the life of the jamal khashoggi has been complicated in his last months and it looks very much like there was a fiance and also a wife and one and says as you heard in the interview that she was married to jamal khashoggi and spent the last 2 years as you just pointed out in house arrest in the united arab emirates and was only released now and there she says she lived in fear of the united arab emirates secret service of holes allied to saudi arabia that's

also important to point out here and you know just arrived in the united states very recently and says she's now for the 1st time really free to speak without fear now it's also important to point out why that marriott has been kept largely secret in the 1st place i have seen some pictures and witness testimonies off the marriage that was they were married on the islamic 4 law she's now fighting to get that 3 certificate accepted here in the united states but what she told me is that they felt he was under threat already at the time and that going public would put her in danger too and that's at least her account now why she is largely unknown to the public until now all right she talks a lot about jamal khashoggi message in the interview and message she clearly wants to see deliver it what is that message. well don says jamal khashoggi was a fighter for the freedom of press for the freedom of speech that he also for for

the release of political prisoners in saudi arabia those who were arrested and persecuted just because of their political views she says jamal khashoggi wanted a better future for the kingdom but that he was never really a threat for the kingdom and according to the cia report the saudi crown prince will hamad bin psalm on felt challenged by jamal khashoggi and therefore okayed the murder. on him so according to a non that was a wrong assessment she says she never was a danger and that they would regret the killing if they knew the truth that is what she says she is fighting for right now that is his legacy and she also told us that she calls on the u.s. government to fight for the freedom of press in saudi arabia and around the world resell it in washington thank you very much let's now take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world a nigerian official says 42 people including 27 students were abducted 2 weeks ago

with online hate speech or sexual harassment in a recent study from the u.s. 33 percent of women aged 35 or younger stated that they had experienced sexual harassment online before compared to just 11 percent of men in the same age group female politicians and journalists who often publicly voice their opinion or especially at risk one 3rd of all women journalists who have been targeted by hateful online complaints have thought about switching professions what is it like to experience online hate speech and what are the impacts we ask women who speak their mind online i was the target of many. complaints online and i have often been at the receiving end of incessant online trolling from people who disagreed with me on my reports so you know it kind of started with the facebook death threats and then it kind of became this massive harassment case where i would get a lot of comments under my article and people would just discuss me on

a lie as if you know i didn't exist at this crest in many ways of you know how they would like to rape me or i have or you know the things that they would me 3 women who have encountered abuse harassment and threats online these experiences have real consequences for the women who are targeted it must be very hard to be resilient and continue to speak up my colleague manoora charge really has been working as a journalist for 6 years currently for w. stanley office she's active on twitter and her reports can easily be found online. the more she reports on political issues the more she is targeted by online hate speech for fear of being trolled online there have been times when i have censored my parts and many other women journalists do the same in my opinion the online abuse of the image on the street should be recognized as an attack on the freedom of speech and expression law enforcement agencies to be sensitized and strengthened

enough to identify these threats and take action also newsrooms across the country . would have to make women journalists safe and secure wherever they go under the continent as a t.v. reporter many of our children who travels around delhi and the surrounding area recently she's been mostly reporting on the coronavirus pandemic but many have also covers controversial issues her gender still plays a role in how people react. as a woman it's often been made to feel quite conscious of my gender whenever i've been out in the field reporting while travelling to remote areas and reporting assignments i have to ensure that the people i would say god will be. with access to beacons on probation so i often carry the can of pepper spray with myself as well and while traveling with invisible i want to be said my live location with a group of friends to my phone so people would know off my bit about. and i have to hide it easier than many of the women who face

a barrage of online m.p. was on a daily basis many of them feel that they make this a drip threads on social media just setting that up and the attacks on not just confined to the online would have been to both of them and getting physically and sexually harassed while out and reporting a current example are the firmest protests in india ongoing since 2020 which have also led to violence both online and offline here 2 women who engage with the issue and voice their opinion are specifically attacked online journalists ronna reported internationally about the demands of the striking farmers and the. being targeted herself. are you busy renowned journalist how wacky kids writing on issues surrounding kateri in violence and political uprisings in india for the washington post and she does not shy away from criticizing indian prime minister narendra modi . drug criticism of knowledge rana has been targeted by nationalist induce at the

beginning of february she posted this on twitter the kind of hate massaging me threats abuse i have seen on my timeline in the last 2 days is something i have never witnessed before if this is not intimidation i don't know what is. this tweet to unleash another round of online harassment reactions ranged from cartoon death threats to calls i had to leave the country. one week later on and you spoke up about the hate speech being directed at. some days about others unbearable in the last few days the death rate press the abuse extended towards my family has been tiring and traumatizing online hate speech has very real impacts on consequences on people's lives that extend far beyond the end to that near opt out allow works for organizations like women in news and the arab foundation for freedom and equality in lebanon as a journalist she's been targeted by aggressive online campaign before she says

online hate speech is being used to teach a cli as a way to silence women so one way that is common also with other countries of the word so in going to take women journalists to stop them from whatever they are doing or from stating an opinion is online harassment and unfortunately it's working for a lot of the time because we do not have offices and we do not have a system that protects women so since we do not have a system the only one harassment is usually succeeding in silencing or intimidate equipment. the globe. encouraged women all around the world to speak out about online harassment many women realized that the online abuse they faced was not an isolated incident now they're supporting each other in taking on online drugs. women are supporting women they've supported

each other long before but now it's it's out there it's open from what i see on social media from what i see even on the streets during revolutions the support between women women is getting much bigger and for one reason the awareness i don't get asked men is becoming bigger in society and that more women are encouraged to speak and these women will start to be the solicitor to speak will encourage other women to ski so the main the main support comes from women themselves and this is also the case with indian journalists. she receives support primarily from other women journalists around the globe. one of rana you've supporters on twitter is absolute gabler who told us about receiving death threats on facebook the azerbaijani journalist has been reporting on conflicts between azerbaijan and armenia and turkey she's been attacked online multiple times at one point the constant online abuse forced her to take

a break i have to decorate my instagram account i have to deactivate my facebook account and i have to watch my twitter account to limit the i have my twitter behavior as a sin my friend coming from after everywhere. taking a break from the internet can be a good way to gain some distance from the abuse because hate speech can make you ill psychologically and physically but it's not always possible for women to just ignore the online world this is especially true for female politicians a study by amnesty international india states that the more visible a politician is the more abuse she receives the human rights organization had analyzed tweets directed at $95.00 indian female politicians and found that every 7th message was offensive or abusive a german news magazine recently found that 64 percent of women in the german parliament have been targeted by hate speech most of it online and in europe 58 percent of all women who participated in the survey had encountered threats and

abuse on social media on the whole women across the globe face much heavier attacks by men when we talk about women we talk about blackmailing we talk about invading privacy we talk about sexual harassment these type of harassment are not experienced by men clearly there are huge differences in how women are targeted as opposed to men what can women do as i have to learn how to cope with the hateful messages now she gives advice to other women in online courses 1st of all. try not to drown and that hate because once you start reading you want to read more and then friends that sending you things and you just need more and it really impacts your health your mental health your physical health. another thing i recommend is have a you know be open about this 1st of all you're not the only wife whose face i'm

a separate pressman's there are so many other women and there are other organizations that help these one man. to process this to address it and also probably do something about it. make sure that there is a support mechanism that you can go. or you can even ask your friends to take over your social media accounts because. you really need to know that you have a support mechanism you cannot handle this on your own. even if it's a minor consequence you can still for instance get that counsel spend it or you know find the person and reach out to someone at a company of social media platform company so what about the companies behind social media platforms why don't facebook and co adequately protect women from online hate speech the big social media firms like to point to freedom of

expression when confronted with these questions but ever since former u.s. president donald trump's online accounts were suspended the guidelines on deleting online hate speech seem to be changing well it's definitely a fine line between censorship and removing. hate speech content i think sometimes it is obvious what might what if electress and still social media platforms are not doing anything about it. this is why murad demands a multi national online platforms like twitter facebook to instagram invest in more stuff to monitor online content and to employ people who can understand the cultural and societal specifics of different regions of the wild in order to adequately assess on one continent social media platform should invest in more people from within countries to give you the content so inevitably to portland some think it will 1st of all it will take 48 hours or 3 days or

a week to be to move the 2nd thing to have more people from the region from lebanon or from jordan or from egypt because they really know the context of these so whatever looks like something that does not violate the community standards of these platforms it's might actually put people at risk in our countries what other rules that determine how we communicate with one another shouldn't the same rules apply online as well as. offline this would also mean prohibiting users from remaining anonymous if they abuse others online that's the only way to work towards tackling online hate speech against women what have your experiences been let us know on you tube facebook already w dot com that's all for me today by and see you next time.

calling for a return to natural for the whole team story and. 39 t. w. . hello and welcome to echo africa i want to live nation magazine produced in lagos. girl and i am a person lives in lagos nigeria. joined by my colleague sandra hello crease

and hello to everyone out there very glad to have you with us again i am sundra to no deal coming to you from kampala here in uganda today we'll be looking at innovative bubble houses in the jamia and plenty of other interesting stories. one here how monks this spring is helping to farm us in boats or no particular lifestyle. we'll also see how south african land owners can get a tax break by protecting the environment. and find out why ugandan farmers bug indigenous elites. we thought of a show in the democratic republic of congo a country often modern conflict as a result of a long time little titian has been to the environment but that is starting to change we want to call the begun a park where people are now devoting time and effort to protecting the nature of it not only is that good for the tropical forest bot the local people and the way to

which includes. the. sis family of gorillas lives in the sewers. from the nearby. and some other entered the park and i think we are now in ca who's e b a go national parks and right now we're in the presence of this year bone and me micio bonner navy and members of his family here in a different point that we think of so who's it via the national park is a national conservation area for the democrats agree public of congo of the ground it was all east and no land gorillas have been a major tourist attraction for decades the main source of income for the park are the admission fees foreign visitors pay $402.00 was still is each because of the

pandemic there's no business right now but the rangers still go out on patrol. they want to keep track of several the us troops and usually know where to find them even though the park is here it covers 6000 square kilometers closer g.p.s. device for each family of gorillas gunpoint to go into the forest to check on them we also collect data and if we find chimpanzee tracks we recorded back to doing it on them see if i find evidence of illegal activities such as traps and we just manto them i know the coordinates are the chronicle going a few days is being used for scientific research the number of lowland gorillas here has declined by hoff over the past 3 decades to just a few 1000 such as estimates of the ranges wealth with primatologists of boston bus a bull city he had its problems experts is a nonprofit study because it's

a public research and conservation. he says poaches and that traps are a continuing threats. this gorilla is lucky to be alive. here we see the silverback move. when he was 4 years old he was caught in a snare and unfortunately he lost his right hand but despite that here it is and he's with his family. but the range is not only patrol of the park to collect data also on the lookout for poachers and that's why they're on and. i think. we have security issues in some parts of the park there are a poachers out there every day and the rangers try to track them down people from the surrounding communities also sometimes damage the park they cut down trees or bamboo. but. the park is

a unesco world heritage site but this part of eastern d.-r. sea is densely populated and there's no buffer zone between the park and the nearby villages people live in the needed facility some work could see plantations all in the park but most smallholder farmers. promise experts his not only 6 would show conservation of the gorillas but also to improve the livelihood of local communities. it has also launched a project to replant areas of forests that have been cleared illegally well dustin besser both say says working closely with local people is very important he hopes they will come to care for the environment as much as they respect the good. will go to good the plan is just an appealing for some time now to go to god that's been seen much more often at the edge of the park and feel. what pleases us as

scientists and conservationists is that the community's respect. like nobody has been throwing stones at him or threatening him even though we often see him passing from their fields. or shots around $100.00 villages. in the reforestation projects a project that will help preserve the forests for the good of the gorillas and the local population. let us now from preserving wildlife on forests to creating good sustainable housing up because a big city is a crowded. over crowded you know witness they were doing their break when on a jury an entropy. who builds houses for material found that in abundance. nigeria's population is rapidly growing and with the need for affordable housing.

ibrahim something soon came up with that idea. he constructs houses and car do not made entirely of bamboo which grows naturally in the area. and man i love my sometimes like this lasts longer than a house built with ordinary wood i had a bamboo is better when it comes to withstand like floods and garage and you and your family can live in a house like this. or a very long time without having to worry that it might collapse and then that's the way that many. of them believe which essentially a woody grass is strong right and environmentally friendly it grows incredibly quickly without having to be replanted after harvest. it's much cheaper than most other construction materials but it should be treated or leeched to eliminate it susceptibility to insect attacks and weather where not all bamboo varieties have

the same quality but if a suitable variety is used to bring him some nice new says a sizeable house can be built in less than 20 days. then how about you if you're also doing your bit tell us about it visit our web site forbes and there's a tweet. hash tag doing your bit. sharing your story. a note to one of the wild and barren meant to troublemakers plus that every year around $25000000.00 tons of wheat ends up in an ocean that's looks like old every single minute of all plastic consumption continues to live on the present rate over discarding 2 truckloads a single minute within the next 10 years and 4 percent by 2050 why is this happening one reason is that only a small proportion of plastic waste this recycled another is that

a run off of all plastic goes to product that i use just once and then thrown away now some young german activist ah cleaning up local rivers and worker was scientist to calculate i'll watch a plastic and stop in the sea. and i delete location on the who're river in western germany but take a closer look and it's not as beautiful. as. kevin nowhere and their classmates have come to do some fishing but not the usual kind it's trash their fishing for those lists are everywhere they look and there's plenty of plastic. and quite a few glass bottles to. the students attend a local high school and are taking part in an initiative called plastic pirates it's a research project where young students get to do the work of real scientists. they

take water samples and measure count and record the pieces of trash they recovered from the rivers and river that. scientists in q use the data to generate a garbage map of german rivers and calculate how much trash ends up in the sea. the teachers are happy to do their part to inspire the budding scientists. out there. it's something i care about myself it always bothers me when i see people leaving rubbish behind especially when they have small children with them and are supposed to be setting an example. the work of the plastic pirates shows that on average one piece of trash can be found for every 2 square metres of riverbank in germany. france also has a project aimed at tracking down the trash it's called plastic origins and goes a step further using artificial intelligence and an app we want to move. as

much as brought us and citizens as we can to go on the reverse or. through. using those data using the video that. we will be able to as we do. a little i don't. go to my previous regime the aim of plastic origins is to get straight to legislation introduced on plastic waste and regulatory limits for the amount of plastic in european rivers their garbage map is intended to identify especially polluted areas we know that most of the crucially frenzy ocean is transported by riggers. right now we don't know which way it goes the most polluted for the warms. but the app contract micro plastics in germany and down

fall kilos of micro plastics per person per year end up in the environment the main sources particles from vehicle tires industrial waste and household garbage it's difficult for waste water treatment plants to filter out the tiny particles but a munich startup called is showing how it can be done using a simple but effective method this is how it works the waste water is pumped into the filter a powerful voice x. is generated in the pipe pushing the water containing most of the micro plastics to the top of the company says 95 percent of micro plastics from municipalities and industry could be filtered out in this way. the young plastic pirates agree that more needs to be done to combat plastic pollution after just 2 hours in this idyllic location they found more trash than they can even carry. now we head to south africa to find out how a tax break helps to promote conservation the country's fables for its wide life

and vast areas of almost torch to lend and you will there come up with a way to encourage people to set up nature reserves on the property. 88 percent of land in south africa is not suitable for agriculture it's too rugged too dry and too one even. but everywhere you look you see life in abundance the country boasts rich biodiversity but how best to preserve it in south africa environmental protection is chronically under financed. that's where candace stevens comes in she's a tax specialist that the n.-g. o. wilderness foundation africa she wants to encourage landowners to turn their holdings into nature reserves the government offers a tax incentive to do so. what

you're doing here is looking off to south africa's natural wealth in the public and so there is this unique tax incentive to benefit that tide of this city this man has already converted his land into a protected area he can write off the cost of the purchase over 25 year period photographer cause fundamental purchase the land 5 years ago and has taken countless pictures of the area since then it really rains here but when it does the landscape is transformed into a pageant of color. another special feature about this area of land is that it could act as a corridor for wild animals since it's located between 2 different protected areas . you standing here roundabouts in the on the northern border of it.

to the waist and you see yourself stretching down quite a macro national park and then to the north east look up prevent all nature reserve and you can see the proposed corrido linking the 2 protected. the crew region of south africa is home to more than $5000.00 species of plants and some 40 percent of them can only be found here. once upon a time this area was farmland due to global warming and the meanest quite a bit and it just became impossible for these people to to make a living with cattle and agriculture and eventually there to sell and that's why we bought them the for conservation. with climate change threatening biodiversity candace stephens has not found it difficult to persuade other landowners to follow

suit. doesn't have signed up to the scheme her 1st experience of implementing the program was in the kwazulu-natal province in order to protect the land locals introduced a herd of cattle. and. the animals serve an important function keeping the grass short helps prevent wildfires in the dry season but it's just the start will slowly introduce game starting with the plains game which will be zebra springbok. full of b.s. and those type of animals and then once they are established slowly the cattle will be removed the animals will be free to run on the whole nature reserve. the tax rebates that candor stevens has been promoting have gone some way towards addressing the shortage of funding for environmental protection in south africa.

and in the future she's hopeful of further progress in this development. it's an old problem pharmacist preciously here in africa are all too familiar with . predictors attack in real life stock ever try on a conservation in children's dogs to guard farm animals they can be very good at it and that means farmers have less reason to hunt and kill marauding wildlife so it's a danger to species such as cheetah are also protected it looks like a win win situation. farmers in the west and was fun to have to be vigilant cheetah could be lacking somewhere in the grass every year families like jeffery moyer lose around 2 percent of their livestock to predators for small haddon's who can't afford security fencing the figure is even higher.

it was a serious problem was i lost out on fifty's on of course the kids are only a pair no one term it want to do that the dealer but it can kill 7 it on one does kill. to protect their lives talk a many good hard earned shoot on poison producers but now some of them have started keeping dogs with their hearts to keep the big cats the way. many farmers give a local mixed breed dog which is well suited to the harsh environment. guarding good program is supported by the environmental going station cheetah conservation fund or has a roof lending facility pony more decent looks after parties and raises them to become hard to be hired on the docks then stay within one stalk day and night to
